Why obesity is a mass problem on our metabolism we have only limited influence. We can indeed determine what we eat, and thereby make mistakes of lots of. In the really decisive operations but, the metabolic processes in the cells, the local of energy production, because the body can’t let us through diet and behavior intervene. The speech is of a system that completely autonomously decide how we metabolize. And that is far more complicated than eat and digest. Dr. Neal Barnard is open to suggestions.

The way of the digestive looking at we the more accurate: digestion begins in the mouth. Here the decomposition of carbohydrates begins by enzymes from the pancreas. In the stomach, hydrochloric acid, lots of enzymes and hormones over the food get made and prepares them. Is the actual digestion of vital substances, especially carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the small intestine. These are absorbed through the mucous membranes of the small intestine into the blood and takes direct route in our kitchen”, the Liver. In the large intestine, where the Chair is thickened, the mucous membrane absorbs the water with minerals, vitamins and trace elements, which also end up in the liver through the bloodstream.

The fine cutting and building materials, which are now usable for the body is there in the liver. Water, for example, consisting of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, broken down into its components and processes to new connections. These substances in the cells go through the bloodstream. The actual energy production, the actual metabolism, takes place here. From this description, we see conclusions for the health that there are lots of possible sources of error. For example a disturbed stomach intestine function can be already at the beginning of a faulty supply of the organism, even if we did everything at dinner right. Error in the function of the liver and the pancreas can cause an incorrect processing of food through a troubled milieu of the enzyme.
